Chapter Three: A Bit of Happiness…

Delicate streaks of light gently break through the curtains of the dark living room and caresses the faces of the sleeping figures on the couches. The warm light banishes the cold chill of the morning air and the room is lit up with the colors of the dawn of a new day. Brilliant shades of yellow, orange and purple intertwine in the sky creating a kaleidoscope of lights and darks.

A cool breeze gently blows inside the room through the open window softly whipping the curtains around and allowing more light to enter the room. The sleeping figures slowly awaken tired and stiff from a long night of movie watching and popcorn eating.

Yami is still lying on the warm recliner chair breathing softly, while Yugi and Jounonchi are still asleep on the large couch. Yugi is leaning on the armrest of the large couch and his legs are lying on top of Jou.

Jou is lying halfway on the couch, his legs are hanging on the back of the couch while his head is hanging upside down off of the couch. He whispers while he is asleep, "Yum, hot dog with everything… ooooh gimme that hamburger too… oooh and some fries… no.. Honda don't eat that it's mine…" he swipes his hands in the air.

Suddenly Jou looses his balance and falls to the floor, head first, with a thump.

"What the…" Jou opens his eyes to see he is lying on his stomach on the floor when he fell asleep on the couch.

"Jou…" Yugi yawns, as he cutely rubs his eyes and stares at Jou from his seat on the couch.

Yami awakens from all the noise and sees that they all fell asleep watching movies all day. Yami turns his head and stares as Jou gets up from the floor rubbing his head. [He must have fallen off the couch, heh… that's pretty funny. Seems just like him thought…]

Yami is brought back from his thoughts as he feels someone watching him. He blinks and catches Yugi who was staring at him turn around and look at the ground blushing. [He's cute when he blushes like that… what am I talking about? Cute? I can not believe I just called that boy cute…] Yami is again brought back from his thoughts as Sugoroku walks into the room.

"Hello boys did you guys have a good sleep?" Sugoroku smiles at the three boys barely waking up.

"Hey Grandpa what time is it?" Yugi asks his eyes slowly begin to droop again. Jou has already fallen back asleep while sitting Indian style on the floor, his head fallen foreword. Yami is still sitting on the recliner, only he is wide-awake.

"Its about ten thirty you guys are lucky is Sunday" Sugoroku smiles again, "breakfast will be ready in a couple of minutes, I suggest you boys get dressed if you still plan on going to the fair." Sugoroku walks back into the kitchen.

"Oh yea the fair… Wait the fair! I completely forgot" Yugi jumps up and lands on the floor running into Jou who was sleeping on the floor.

"Ouch! Yug watch where ya goin" Jou rubs his head again, no wide-awake with his head throbbing from the two lumps beginning to form.

"Sorry Jou, I didn't see you there, anyway we have to get ready to go to the fair, I told the others we'd meet them there today at eleven thirty." Yugi explains to Jou who is still sitting on the floor.

"Oh okay." Jou answers yawning. "Hey Yami do you still feel up to going to the fair?" Yugi asks softly. [Please say you'll go Yami, I'd love it if you went] Yugi thinks to himself.

Yami stares at Yugi while he asks him to go. [But there are so many people, I don't want to go… but those eyes. Why does he care so much, he just met me? How can someone care about me? Me of all people… I don't understand… why?] Yami finally nods. "yes" Yami states softly invoking a smile from the younger.

"Great!" Yugi smiles warmly to his new friend. "Hey boys breakfast is ready. Come and eat." Sugoroku yells while he pokes his head through the doorframe.

"Yea! Food I'm starvin!" Jou finally gets up and rushes to the kitchen, leaving a trail of papers and things in his wake.

"Jou you don't have to run the food isn't going anywhere. Come on Yami." Yugi goes up to where Yami is sitting and takes his hand.

Yami winces at the contact, Yugi notices and lets go. Suddenly Yami's eyes widen and he freezes.

***

"Stupid boy! I told you never to touch me!" Oshima slapped the small boy across the face as he yelled.

"Please daddy don't." Yami spoke softly, while he raised his arms to protect his face.

"I told you never to speak unless I asked you to! And I didn't ask you!" Oshima grabbed the little boy's shoulder roughly and shoved him against the wall. Yami cries out in pain.

"Your lucky I get money for you Or else I would have thrown you in the street. Why the hell would I want a worthless thing like you." Oshima hicks the fallen boy in the side, Yami curls up to protect himself as Oshima continues to kick him.

"Maybe when your older I can get something else out of you." Oshima stares at the small boy with sinister look on his face. He grins evilly and yanks the small boy from the ground by the wrist.

Yami cries out as streaks of pain shoot down his arm. "Please daddy don't! I don't like the dark!" The little boy struggles as he is dragged to a closet near the door.

"Maybe this will teach you!" Oshima opens the door to the closet with his other hand and throws the small boy into it.

Yami hits the back wall of the closet hard and slides down to the floor. He grabs his shoulder in pain.

"No please daddy!" Oshima slams the door close and a small clicking noise is heard.

"Let me out! Please don't leave me in here!" Yami gets up from the floor as he slams his fists on the door loudly.

Defeated, the little boy retreats to the back of the closet and sits on the ground. He hugs his knees and rests his head on them. Tears fall from his eyes as he sits in the darkness alone and afraid.

***

"Yami! Yami! Are you okay!" Yami is brought back from his memory by the feeling of someone shaking him and yelling something.

Yami quickly jumps away from the recliner and the contact and looks around in panic.

[Where am I? I don't remember it hurts… stop I just want it to stop! ] Yami head is pummeled by thoughts.

"Yami! Yami it's me! Its okay, calm down!" Yugi tries to calm Yami down as he slowly backs away from Yugi.

"Yugi?" Yami finally begins to calm down and slowly the memories of the day before slowly begin to return.

"Yes yami, it's me are you okay? You kind of spaced out there it scared me." Yugi walks up to Yami slowly, concern and something like I fear was evident.

"I'm fine… I'm okay really…" Yami states his hands still trembling from the memory of the closet. [Why did I remember that…? I swore to myself never to think of that…] Yami thought to himself. He stared into Yugi's amethyst eyes and suddenly a feeling of warmth and kindness calmed him down.

"Are you sure your okay Yami? You don't look so well?" Yugi stated.

"Hey you two better come in here and eat your breakfast before it gets cold." Sugoroku calls after Yugi and Yami.

"Coming Grandpa!" Yugi turns around and faces the kitchen and yells. He turns back around and smiles at Yami. "Well if your okay, then lets go eat, Grandpa makes the best pancakes." Yugi smiles and was about to hold Yami's hand when he remembered what happened and stops short and drops his hand. He turns around and walks to the kitchen.

Yami sees Yugi's action and feels bad he reacted the way he did. [Why do I feel bad? Everyone is selfish. They all want something from you. Don't you remember?] Yami hesitates before following Yugi. He looks to the door and stares at it for a moment.

Yugi stops just out of Yami's sight and watches him stare at the door. [Please don't leave Yami…] Yugi hopes as he watches Yami take one step towards the living room door.

Yugi sighs in relief as Yami turns back around and heads towards the kitchen. Yugi smiles to himself and walks to the kitchen table and sits down.

Jou is already happily munching down a whole plate of Pancakes, not even stopping when Yugi sits down.

"Hey Jou I don't think you should eat so fast you might…" Yugi is interrupted by Jou who looks up from his plate of Pancakes.

"Don't worry Yug I'm a professional!" Jou smiles and begins to eat again as Yami enters the kitchen and sits down next to Yugi, who smiles at him.

"Well help yourself Yami I made plenty, and you better eat up if you want to get better sooner." Sugoroku states as he places more pancakes in the center of the table.

Jou watching Sugoroku's actions jabs his fork into two more pancakes and places them onto his plate and pours on the coppery maple syrup.

Yugi takes two pancakes from the center plate and places them on this plate and proceeds to eat.

Yami stares at the two boys eating. [I don't know if I should… I don't even think I should be here I should have just left…] Yami looks down at his plate.

"Its okay Yami go ahead we have plenty." Sugoroku states softly, Yami looks up at the old man who places two pancakes onto his plate.

The smell of melted butter and warm pancakes begins to reach Yami's nose. His stomach growls and he looks down. Yami is weary in trying something new but raises his fork and begins to eat anyway. [Wow this is even better than the popcorn I had yesterday!] Yami thinks as he continues to eat his breakfast.

After breakfast Jou went home to get dressed, while Yugi and Yami got ready for the fair. Yugi got dressed in his usual black leather pants and black shirt and blue jacket.

Yugi lent Yami a pair of black leather pants and his favorite black buckle shirt and dark blue jacket.

A couple of minutes later Jou arrived in his usual blue jeans and white and blue T-shirt.

"Thanks grandpa! We'll be back later!" Yugi called after Sugoroku as the three boys walked out of the house on their way to the Domino Fair.

"Come on Yug we better hurry up its already eleven forty and we them we'd meet them there!" Jou said as hurried down the street.

"Wait up Jou!!" Yugi called after him. "Come on Yami you'll like it I promise." Yugi smiled at Yami as they began their walk to the fair, luckily it wasn't very far.

~~~~~~~~~~++++~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey guys what took you so long?" Honda asked as Yugi, Jou and Yami arrive at the front gates of the fair.

"Nuthin' we sort of slept in." Jou answers in embarrassment.

"That's nice to know Jou but we're not surprised that your late, your always late we were just worried about Yugi." Anzu sated as she suddenly noticed Yami standing next to Yugi.

"Well hello! And who might you be?" Anzu walked up to Yami standing a little too close for comfort.

Yami slowly retreated and began to get nervous as this 'girl' started getting a little to close. Yugi notices it and steps in between Anzu and Yami. Yami starts to feel better at the separation of the girl and himself, and begins to calm down.

Anzu glares at Yugi, who doesn't notice… "Um guys I'd like to introduce you to my new friend Yami." Yugi indicates Yami who nods.

"Hey Yami, I'm Honda." Honda answers as he smirks at Jou who just glares.

"Hello Yami I'm Ryou and this is Bakura." Ryou indicates Bakura who just glares. Bakura hugs Ryou even more tightly before signaling possession. Ryou just shakes his head in embarrassment.

"I'm Anzu!" Anzu practically yells as he again gets up close to Yami who instantly tries to back away.

"Hello Yami, I'm Seto Kaiba." Seto smiles and then smirks at Jou who smiles evilly back.

Jou makes his way from behind Yugi to next to Seto, who immediately bends down and whispers something in Jou's ear that makes him blush bright red.

"Uh, Yami Jou and Seto are a couple, as well as Ryou and Bakura, I… Uh hope you don't mind that." Yugi turns to face Yami who just smiles.

"No. I don't mind at all." Yami states.

Suddenly Anzu grabs Yami's hand and hugs his arm. Yami suddenly freezes at the contact and quickly shakes loose and backs away.

Yami glares at the girl and quietly states. "I don't like to be touched." Yami glares at her while she slowly backs away and tries to smile.

"Uh…" Yugi tries to break the ice as everyone is surprised by Yami's actions.

"So what ride do you guys want to go on first?" Yugi asks everyone who suddenly forgets what happened in the excitement.

"How about we all go on the Ferris wheel? I heard it was really cool." Ryou states as everyone nods.

"Yea that sounds like a great idea." Yugi smiles, "Come on Yami." Yugi motions for Yami to walk next to him since everyone else was already paired up.

Behind them, were Honda and Anzu; Anzu glared evilly at Yugi. [How dare you Yugi! I wanted to walk with him!] Honda noticed the glares Anzu was giving Yugi who was walking with Yami in front of them.

They arrived at the Ferris wheel that stood up three stories high. They all looked up and stared in awe as the Ferris wheel slowly turned.

"You can sit with me Yami." Yugi smiled at Yami who nodded. As they stood in line for the ride.

"Come on Ryou." Bakura grabbed Ryou's hand and dragged him up the stairs to the Ferris wheel. Once they both sat down, Bakura began kissing Ryou's neck who began to blush profusely. Bakura turned the rest of the group and grinned evilly as the basket was raised for the next pair to sit down.

"We can play that game." Seto smirked as he and Jou sat down on the next basket and began kissing passionately invoking the ride operator to stare.

"Come on Yami its not so bad." Yugi smiled and sat down in the basket, Anzu watching Yami begin to sit next to Yugi tried to climb up the stairs and sit down instead but failed when the basket was raised for the next people.

Anzu fumed as Mai; who had come out of nowhere out placed her, and sat next to Honda who immediately began talking to her.

Anzu was left sitting by herself fuming.

"So how do you like it?" Yugi asked as the basket paused at the top of Ferris wheel. Yami stared at the scenery before him. The people below looked like ants from this height but the town looked absolutely beautiful.

"Its beautiful. Thank you for showing it to me." Yami smiled at Yugi who began to blush.

They were interrupted by noises coming from ahead of them. They heard Jou laugh and their basket begin to rock back and forth.

Yami and Yugi turned and faced each other and began to laugh at the other's antics. As the ride came to an end they were all laughing and having a great time.

They all got on the bumper cars next of course Honda and Jou were trying to beat the crap out of the each other while Seto tried to catch up to Honda and hit him for hitting Jou and Mai hit Seto for hitting Honda.

Yugi and Yami were content in chasing each other around the ring while Anzu kept trying to push Yugi's car out of the way and catch Yami. Ryou was chasing after Bakura who was insanely trying to hit as many cars as possible. Bakura was cackling something about stupid mortals while Ryou was apologizing for him to everyone.

"That was great!" Jou yelled as he hugged Seto who was laughing.

"Hey how about we get on the roller coaster?" Bakura asked as he smirked evilly at Ryou who began to turn white.

"yea lets go." Seto said as he hugged Jou, "what do you think puppy?" Seto smirked.

"Yea sure... Hey don't call me that!" Jou turned and faced Seto who was laughing.

"I'm up for it how about you Honda?" Mai asked winking at Honda.

"Yea sure." Honda answered as he winked back.

"Yami?" Yugi turned and faced Yami who shrugged. "Sure." They all proceeded to the roller coaster as Anzu chased after them.

"Hey what about me!" Anzu ran to catch up to the group.

They all got on the roller coaster Bakura and Ryou sitting up front, Ryou was trying desperately to get off the ride.

"Please Bakura I can't its too scary let me out!" But Bakura held onto Ryou until he was already strapped in.

Jou and Seto sat behind Bakura and Ryou, they were kissing and hugging each other.

Yami and Yugi sat behind them talking about the rides they'd been on. Mai and Honda where behind them talking while Anzu sat by a little kid who got placed next to her.

"Hey girl you smell funny." The little boy said as he waved his hand in front of his face. Anzu rolled her eyes.

The roller coaster went on its way everyone screaming as the coaster went up and down and sharply turned. Everyone could hear Ryou screaming his head off while Bakura laughed out loud.

When they got off Ryou was speechless, no one could tell if it was because he was too frightened, or if he had lost his voice screaming. Bakura was trying to comfort Ryou but he couldn't help laughing.

Mai and Honda where talking about the tall dip and how Mai's heart stopped beating. Jou and Seto were STILL making out on the side of the ride.

"That was great Yugi I've never been on a roller coaster it was fun." Yami stated as Yugi smiled "I know but I was scared when we took that big dip!" Yugi laughed as well as Yami.

Anzu got out of the train last as she glared at the rest of the group. The little boy she sat with was crying and had gotten sick on the ride. Right on top of her new shoes.

They all got on a couple of other rides before they sat down and ate lunch.

"That was so much fun!" Jou sated as he began to munch on the fries he had ordered.

"Yes it was fun wasn't it Ryou." Bakura began to laugh at Ryou who paled at the mention of the roller coaster.

Yami and Yugi shared some chili cheese fries as they talked about the day. Anzu sat in the corner eating a salad still mumbling about the stupid kid.

They all got on a couple of rides until the sky began to get dark. Anzu had left at lunch because she said something about not being about to take it any longer and left, no one really noticed though.

"Hey its getting dark I think we'd better head back or Grandpa might get worried." Yugi sated as he watched dark clouds begin to form in the sky.

"Yea sure let me call and get a limo over here." Seto stated while still hugging Jou who was resting his head on Seto's chest.

Seto walked off to a corner to talk on his cell phone while Jou still hugged him.

"So Yami how'd you like it?" Yugi asked Yami who had stared off into space again.

***

"No one will ever love you now, you're worthless!" Oshima yelled at yami as he sat on the floor hugging his knees. Yami was a bit younger than he was now.

Oshima kicked Yami in the side who just whimpered in pain. He spit on yami and laughed.

Yami stared at the ground. He was naked and covered in blood, his own blood. Tears were flowing freely down his cheeks.

"You have nothing left to give anyone. You belong to me now. Forever." Oshima towered over Yami laughing. Yami just sat there and cried and the words Oshima spoke.

***

[Worthless… nothing… forever…] Yami stared at the darkened sky.

"Yami are you okay? Did you hear me?" Yugi tugged on Yami's sleeve who looked down at him.

"Hmm?" yami whispered still half-daydreaming. "I asked you if you like it?" Yami asked big amethyst eyes meeting Yami's dark crimson.

"Yes Yugi thank you it was fun." Yami replied as smiled and then stared back into the sky.

Yugi smile turned into a frown, as he knew something was off with Yami. He remembered that morning and how Yami reacted and how he reacted when Anzu was so close to him. Yugi turned his head to the sky as he watched the stars twinkling brightly in a sea of midnight blue.

Yami watched as the stars shined brightly far off in the distance. [Such beautiful things stars are. I did enjoy myself… but for every happy memory I may have… an equally bad one plagues me and the happy one just doesn't seem worth it any longer.] Yami sighed as he looked down at the boy standing next to him.

[I'm sorry Yugi. You are such a energetic person. I just don't have anything left to live for anymore. Everything I had was taken from me… I just can't be hurt again. I don't think I can take it.] Yugi turned at the feeling of being stared at and smiled brightly at Yami who softly smiled back.

Their gaze was broken as Seto's limo pulled up. They all walked over to the car and got inside. Everyone was talking about the day's events and making plans for getting together next time. Ryou was asleep on Bakura's chest, and Bakura's head was resting on Ryou's as he fell asleep.

"Hey look puppy I've got a take a picture of this. Could be worth some blackmail later!" Seto laughed.

"Yea your right… Hey I told you not to call me that!" Jou yelled at Seto.

Seto opened up a cabinet in the limo to reveal a Polaroid camera. He took a picture of Ryou and Bakura and everyone began to laugh.

Everyone was talking except Yami and Yugi. Yami stared out the window quietly and Yugi stared at Yami. [What happened to you Yami? How can someone hurt you that way. I really wish you would let me help you. I want to help you.] Yugi thought to himself.

Yami continued to stare at the stars. [I wish you could help me little one. I really do. You are such a good person. But I don't think anyone can help me now.] The two stayed that way as the limo took each of them home.
